The Expanding Armamentarium of Innovative Bioengineered Strategies to Augment Cardiovascular Repair and Regeneration
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
2021: 674172
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. While clinical trials of cell therapy have demonstrated largely neutral results, recent investigations into the mechanisms of natural myocardial regeneration have demonstrated promising new intersections between molecular, cellular, tissue, biomaterial, and biomechanical engineering solutions. New insight into the crucial role of inflammation in natural regenerative processes may explain why previous efforts have yielded only modest degrees of regeneration. Furthermore, the new understanding of the interdependent relationship of inflammation and myocardial regeneration have catalyzed the emergence of promising new areas of investigation at the intersection of many fields.

Chemical kinetic model uncertainty minimization through laminar flame speed measurements
COMBUSTION AND FLAME
2016; 172: 136-152
Abstract
Laminar flame speed measurements were carried for mixture of air with eight C3-4 hydrocarbons (propene, propane, 1,3-butadiene, 1-butene, 2-butene, iso-butene, n-butane, and iso-butane) at the room temperature and ambient pressure. Along with C1-2 hydrocarbon data reported in a recent study, the entire dataset was used to demonstrate how laminar flame speed data can be utilized to explore and minimize the uncertainties in a reaction model for foundation fuels. The USC Mech II kinetic model was chosen as a case study. The method of uncertainty minimization using polynomial chaos expansions (MUM-PCE) (D.A. Sheen and H. Wang, Combust. Flame 2011, 158, 2358-2374) was employed to constrain the model uncertainty for laminar flame speed predictions. Results demonstrate that a reaction model constrained only by the laminar flame speed values of methane/air flames notably reduces the uncertainty in the predictions of the laminar flame speeds of C3 and C4 alkanes, because the key chemical pathways of all of these flames are similar to each other. The uncertainty in model predictions for flames of unsaturated C3-4 hydrocarbons remain significant without considering fuel specific laminar flames speeds in the constraining target data set, because the secondary rate controlling reaction steps are different from those in the saturated alkanes. It is shown that the constraints provided by the laminar flame speeds of the foundation fuels could reduce notably the uncertainties in the predictions of laminar flame speeds of C4 alcohol/air mixtures. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that an accurate prediction of the laminar flame speed of a particular C4 alcohol/air mixture is better achieved through measurements for key molecular intermediates formed during the pyrolysis and oxidation of the parent fuel.

Properties of Complexes Formed by Na+, Mg2+, and Fe2+ Binding with Benzene Molecules
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2014; 118 (40): 9500-9511
Abstract
A theoretical investigation was performed to study cation-π interactions in complexes of benzene (Bz) with cations, that is, M(z+)(Bz)n for M(z+) = Na(+), Mg(2+), Fe(2+) and n = 1-3, using MP2 theory with the 6-31+G* and 6-311++G** basis sets and the DFT/(B3LYP and B3LYP-D)/6-311++G** methods. Binding energies and structures of the complexes are reported. The splitting between the quintet and single states of the Fe(2+) complexes was found to depend on the number of benzene molecules in the complex and the complex's structure. All of the M(z+)(Bz) complexes prefer a half-sandwich geometry. A geometry with the cation sandwiched between the two benzene rings was found for the M(z+)(Bz)2 complexes, with the benzene rings either in an eclipsed or staggered conformation. An approximate cyclic structure, with the cation at its center, was found for three benzene molecules interacting with the cation. The cation-benzene binding energy is substantial and equal to 22, 108, and 151 kcal/mol for the Na(+)(Bz), Mg(2+)(Bz), and Fe(2+)(Bz) complexes, respectively. The strength of the interaction of the cation with an individual benzene molecule decreases as the number of benzene molecules bound to the cation increases; for example, it is 108 kcal/mol for Mg(2+)(Bz), but only 71 kcal/mol for Mg(2+)(Bz)3. There is a range of values for the M(z+)(Bz)n intermolecular vibrational frequencies; for example, they are ∼230-360 and ∼10-330 cm(-1) for the Mg(2+)(Bz) and Mg(2+)(Bz)3 complexes, respectively. Binding of the cation to benzene both red and blue shifts the benzene vibrational frequencies. This shifting is larger for the Mg(2+) and Fe(2+) complexes, as compared to those for Na(+), as a result of the former's stronger cation-benzene binding. The present study is an initial step to understand the possible importance of cation-π interactions for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon aggregation processes during soot formation.

Imaging Nanocarbon Materials: Soot Particles in Flames are Not Structurally Homogeneous
CHEMPHYSCHEM
2013; 14 (14): 3248-3254
Abstract
For the first time, nascent soot particles are probed by using helium-ion microscopy (HIM). HIM is a technique that is similar to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) but it can achieve higher contrast and improved surface sensitivity, especially for carbonaceous materials. The HIM microscope yields images with a high contrast, which allows for the unambiguous recognition of smaller nascent soot particles than those observed in previous transmission electron microscopy studies. The results indicate that HIM is ideal for rapid and reliable probing of the morphology of nascent soot, with surface details visible down to approximately 5 nm, and particles as small as 2 nm are detectable. The results also show that nascent soot is structurally and chemically inhomogeneous, and even the smallest particles can have shapes that deviate from a perfect sphere.

Flexible polymer transistors with high pressure sensitivity for application in electronic skin and health monitoring
Nature Comm.
2013; 4: 1859
Abstract
Flexible pressure sensors are essential parts of an electronic skin to allow future biomedical prostheses and robots to naturally interact with humans and the environment. Mobile biomonitoring in long-term medical diagnostics is another attractive application for these sensors. Here we report the fabrication of flexible pressure-sensitive organic thin film transistors with a maximum sensitivity of 8.4 kPa(-1), a fast response time of <10 ms, high stability over >15,000 cycles and a low power consumption of <1 mW. The combination of a microstructured polydimethylsiloxane dielectric and the high-mobility semiconducting polyisoindigobithiophene-siloxane in a monolithic transistor design enabled us to operate the devices in the subthreshold regime, where the capacitance change upon compression of the dielectric is strongly amplified. We demonstrate that our sensors can be used for non-invasive, high fidelity, continuous radial artery pulse wave monitoring, which may lead to the use of flexible pressure sensors in mobile health monitoring and remote diagnostics in cardiovascular medicine.

Tunneling in Hydrogen-Transfer Isomerization of n-Alkyl Radicals
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2012; 116 (1): 319-332
Abstract
The role of quantum tunneling in hydrogen shift in linear heptyl radicals is explored using multidimensional, small-curvature tunneling method for the transmission coefficients and a potential energy surface computed at the CBS-QB3 level of theory. Several one-dimensional approximations (Wigner, Skodje and Truhlar, and Eckart methods) were compared to the multidimensional results. The Eckart method was found to be sufficiently accurate in comparison to the small-curvature tunneling results for a wide range of temperature, but this agreement is in fact fortuitous and caused by error cancellations. High-pressure limit rate constants were calculated using the transition state theory with treatment of hindered rotations and Eckart transmission coefficients for all hydrogen-transfer isomerizations in n-pentyl to n-octyl radicals. Rate constants are found in good agreement with experimental kinetic data available for n-pentyl and n-hexyl radicals. In the case of n-heptyl and n-octyl, our calculated rates agree well with limited experimentally derived data. Several conclusions made in the experimental studies of Tsang et al. (Tsang, W.; McGivern, W. S.; Manion, J. A. Proc. Combust. Inst. 2009, 32, 131-138) are confirmed theoretically: older low-temperature experimental data, characterized by small pre-exponential factors and activation energies, can be reconciled with high-temperature data by taking into account tunneling; at low temperatures, transmission coefficients are substantially larger for H-atom transfers through a five-membered ring transition state than those with six-membered rings; channels with transition ring structures involving greater than 8 atoms can be neglected because of entropic effects that inhibit such transitions. The set of computational kinetic rates were used to derive a general rate rule that explicitly accounts for tunneling. The rate rule is shown to reproduce closely the theoretical rate constants.

Internal structure, hygroscopic and reactive properties of mixed sodium methanesulfonate-sodium chloride particles
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS
2011; 13 (25): 11846-11857
Abstract
Internal structures, hygroscopic properties and heterogeneous reactivity of mixed CH(3)SO(3)Na/NaCl particles were investigated using a combination of computer modeling and experimental approaches. Surfactant properties of CH(3)SO(3)(-) ions and their surface accumulation in wet, deliquesced particles were assessed using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and surface tension measurements. Internal structures of dry CH(3)SO(3)Na/NaCl particles were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) assisted with X-ray microanalysis mapping, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The combination of these techniques shows that dry CH(3)SO(3)Na/NaCl particles are composed of a NaCl core surrounded by a CH(3)SO(3)Na shell. Hygroscopic growth, deliquescence and efflorescence phase transitions of mixed CH(3)SO(3)Na/NaCl particles were determined and compared to those of pure NaCl particles. These results indicate that particles undergo a two step deliquescence transition: first at ∼69% relative humidity (RH) the CH(3)SO(3)Na shell takes up water, and then at ∼75% RH the NaCl core deliquesces. Reactive uptake coefficients for the particle-HNO(3) heterogeneous reaction were determined at different CH(3)SO(3)Na/NaCl mixing ratios and RH. The net reaction probability decreased notably with increasing CH(3)SO(3)Na and at lower RH.

Products of the Benzene + O(P-3) Reaction
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2010; 114 (9): 3355-3370
Abstract
The gas-phase reaction of benzene with O((3)P) is of considerable interest for modeling of aromatic oxidation, and also because there exist fundamental questions concerning the prominence of intersystem crossing in the reaction. While its overall rate constant has been studied extensively, there are still significant uncertainties in the product distribution. The reaction proceeds mainly through the addition of the O atom to benzene, forming an initial triplet diradical adduct, which can either dissociate to form the phenoxy radical and H atom or undergo intersystem crossing onto a singlet surface, followed by a multiplicity of internal isomerizations, leading to several possible reaction products. In this work, we examined the product branching ratios of the reaction between benzene and O((3)P) over the temperature range 300-1000 K and pressure range 1-10 Torr. The reactions were initiated by pulsed-laser photolysis of NO(2) in the presence of benzene and helium buffer in a slow-flow reactor, and reaction products were identified by using the multiplexed chemical kinetics photoionization mass spectrometer operating at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Phenol and phenoxy radical were detected and quantified. Cyclopentadiene and cyclopentadienyl radical were directly identified for the first time. Finally, ab initio calculations and master equation/RRKM modeling were used to reproduce the experimental branching ratios, yielding pressure-dependent rate expressions for the reaction channels, including phenoxy + H, phenol, cyclopentadiene + CO, which are proposed for kinetic modeling of benzene oxidation.

Weakly Bound Carbon-Carbon Bonds in Acenaphthene Derivatives and Hexaphenylethane
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2010; 114 (2): 1161-1168
Abstract
A class of acenaphthene derivatives is shown to contain weak central carbon-carbon bonds that may be easily cleaved at high temperatures or even at ambient conditions to yield persistent free diradicals. To demonstrate the weak C-C bond strength, density functional theory calculations were carried out at several levels of theory for both the parent molecules and the diradicals resulting from the C-C bond cleavage. To assess the accuracy of the calculations, hexaphenylethane was chosen as a model compound due to its similarity with the molecules studied here, its great resonance stabilization, and long-standing history within the chemistry community. The C-C bond dissociation energy of hexaphenylethane was determined to be 11.3 +/- 1.4 kcal/mol using a combination of isodesmic reactions and calculations at the M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory. The types of molecules presented here are proposed as strong possibilities for the natural existence of free radicals in young and mature soot formed in hydrocarbon combustion.

Micro-FTIR study of soot chemical composition-evidence of aliphatic hydrocarbons on nascent soot surfaces
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS
2010; 12 (20): 5206-5218
Abstract
Previous studies suggest that soot formed in premixed flat flames can contain a substantial amount of aliphatic compounds. Presence of these compounds may affect the kinetics of soot mass growth and oxidation in a way that is currently not understood. Using an infrared spectrometer coupled to a microscope (micro-FTIR), we examined the composition of soot sampled from a set of ethylene-argon-oxygen flames recently characterized (A. D. Abid, et al. Combust. Flame, 2008, 154, 775-788), all with an equivalence ratio Φ=2.07 but varying in maximum flame temperatures. Soot was sampled at three distances above the burner surface using a probe sampling technique and deposited on silicon nitride thin film substrates using a cascade impactor. Spectra were taken and analyses performed for samples collected on the lowest five impactor stages with the cut-off sizes of D(50)=10, 18, 32, 56 and 100 nm. The micro-FTIR spectra revealed the presence of aliphatic C–H, aromatic C–H and various oxygenated functional groups, including carbonyl (C=O), C–O–C and C–OH groups. Spectral analyses were made to examine variations of these functional groups with flame temperature, sampling position and particle size. Results indicate that increases in flame temperature leads to higher contents of non-aromatic functionalities. Functional group concentrations were found to be ordered as follows: [C=O]<[C–O]<[aliphatic C–H]. Aliphatic C–H was found to exist in significant quantities, with very little oxygenated groups present. The ratio of these chemical functionalities to aromatic C–H remains constant for particle sizes spanning 10-100 nm. The results confirm a previous experimental finding: a significant amount of aliphatic compounds is present in nascent soot formed in the flames studied, especially towards larger distances above the burner surface.

Transport Properties of Small Spherical Particles
5th Interdisciplinary Transport Phenomena - Fluid, Thermal, Biological, Materials and Space Sciences
WILEY-BLACKWELL. 2009: 484–493
Abstract
Recently, a theoretical framework for nanoparticle transport in the laminar flow regime has been proposed. The theory features a rigorous gas-kinetic theory analysis. It considers the effect of nonrigid body collision, and the theory is shown to reproduce the Chapman-Enskog theory of molecular transport in the small particle size limit, Epstein's model of particle drag in the rigid-body limit, and the Stokes-Cunningham equation for the drag on micrometer size particles. This theoretical framework provides the hope that bits and pieces of particle transport theories formulated over the last century can now be unified into a generalized theory. This paper discusses an unresolved fundamental issue related to this generalized theory, namely, the transition from specular scattering applicable to molecule-molecule collision to diffuse scattering governing molecule-"particle" collision.

Kinetics of heterogeneous reaction of CaCO3 particles with gaseous HNO3 over a wide range of humidity
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2008; 112 (7): 1561-1571
Abstract
Heterogeneous reaction kinetics of gaseous nitric acid (HNO3) with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles was investigated using a particle-on-substrate stagnation flow reactor (PS-SFR). This technique utilizes the exposure of substrate deposited, isolated, and narrowly dispersed particles to a gas mixture of HNO3/H2O/N2, followed by microanalysis of individual reacted particles using computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (CCSEM/EDX). The first series of experiments were conducted at atmospheric pressure, room temperature and constant relative humidity (40%) with a median dry particle diameter of Dp = 0.85 mum, particle loading densities 2 x 104 = Ns = 6 x 106 cm-2 and free stream HNO3 concentrations of 7, 14, and 25 ppb. The apparent, pseudo first-order rate constant for the reaction was determined from oxygen enrichment in individual particles as a function of particle loading. Quantitative treatment of the data using a diffusion-kinetic model yields a lower limit to the net reaction probability gammanet >/= 0.06 (x3//2). In a second series of experiments, HNO3 uptake on CaCO3 particles of the same size was examined over a wide range of relative humidity, from 10 to 80%. The net reaction probability was found to increase with increasing relative humidity, from gammanet >/= 0.003 at RH = 10% to 0.21 at 80%.

Hygroscopic behavior of substrate-deposited particles studied by micro-FT-IR spectroscopy and complementary methods of particle analysis
ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
2008; 80 (3): 633-642
Abstract
The application of microscopic Fourier transform infrared (micro-FT-IR) spectroscopy combined with complementary methods of particle analysis is demonstrated here for investigations of phase transitions and hygroscopic growth of micron-sized particles. The approach utilizes the exposure of substrate-deposited, isolated particles to humidified nitrogen inside a sample cell followed by micro-FT-IR spectroscopy over a selected sample area. Phase transitions of NaCl, sea salt, NaNO3, and (NH4)2SO4 particles are monitored with this technique to evaluate its utility and applicability for particle hydration studies. The results are found in excellent agreement with literature data in terms of (a) reliable and reproducible detection of deliquescence and efflorescence phase transitions, (b) quantitative measurements of water-to-solute ratios in particles as a function of relative humidity, and (c) changes in the IR spectra resulting from phase transitions and changing relative humidity. Additional methods of particle analysis are employed to complement and assist in the interpretation of particle hygroscopicity data obtained from micro-FT-IR measurements. The analytical approach and the experimental setup presented here are relatively simple, inexpensive, readily available and therefore may be practical for hydration studies of environmental particles collected in both laboratory and field studies.

Kinetic study of heterogeneous reaction of deliquesced NaCl particles with gaseous HNO3 using particle-on-substrate stagnation flow reactor approach
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2007; 111 (40): 10026-10043
Abstract
Heterogeneous reaction kinetics of gaseous nitric acid with deliquesced sodium chloride particles NaCl(aq) + HNO3(g) --> NaNO3(aq) + HCl(g) were investigated with a novel particle-on-substrate stagnation flow reactor (PS-SFR) approach under conditions, including particle size, relative humidity, and reaction time, directly relevant to the atmospheric chemistry of sea salt particles. Particles deposited onto an electron microscopy grid substrate were exposed to the reacting gas at atmospheric pressure and room temperature by impingement via a stagnation flow inside the reactor. The reactor design and choice of flow parameters were guided by computational fluid dynamics to ensure uniformity of the diffusion flux to all particles undergoing reaction. The reaction kinetics was followed by observing chloride depletion in the particles by computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (CCSEM/EDX). The validity of the current approach was examined first by conducting experiments with median dry particle diameter D(p) = 0.82 microm, 80% relative humidity, particle loading densities 4 x 10(4)

Reaction kinetics of CO+HO2 -> products: Ab initio transition state theory study with master equation modeling
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2007; 111 (19): 4031-4042
Abstract
The kinetics of the reaction CO + HO2* --> CO2 + *OH was studied using a combination of ab initio electronic structure theory, transition state theory, and master equation modeling. The potential energy surface was examined with the CCSD(T) and CASPT2 methods. The classical energy barriers were found to be about 18 and 19 kcal/mol for CO + HO2* addition following the trans and cis paths, respectively. For the cis path, rate constant calculations were carried out with canonical transition state theory. For the trans path, master equation modeling was also employed to examine the pressure dependence. Special attention was paid to the hindered internal rotations of the HOOC*O adduct and transition states. The theoretical analysis shows that the overall rate coefficient is independent of pressure up to 500 atm for temperature ranging from 300 to 2500 K. On the basis of this analysis, we recommend the following rate expression for reaction R1 k(cm(3)/mol x s) = 1.57 x 10(5) T(2.18)e(-9030/T) for 300 < or = T < or = 2500 K with the uncertainty factor equal to 8, 2, and 1.7 at temperatures of 300, 1000, and 2000 K, respectively.

A new approach to determining gas-particle reaction probabilities and application to the heterogeneous reaction of deliquesced sodium chloride particles with gas-phase hydroxyl radicals
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2006; 110 (36): 10619-10627
Abstract
The reaction kinetics for gaseous hydroxyl radicals (OH) with deliquesced sodium chloride particles (NaCl(aq)) were investigated using a novel experimental approach. The technique utilizes the exposure of substrate-deposited aerosol particles to reactive gases followed by chemical analysis of the particles using computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive analysis of X-rays (CCSEM/EDX) capability. Experiments were performed at room temperature and atmospheric pressure with deliquesced NaCl particles in the micron size range at 70-80% RH and with OH concentrations in the range of 1 to 7 x 10(9) cm(-3). The apparent, pseudo first-order rate constant for the reaction was determined from measurements of changes in the chloride concentration of individual particles upon reaction with OH as a function of the particle loading on the substrate. Quantitative treatment of the data using a model that incorporates both diffusion and reaction kinetics yields a lower limit to the net reaction probability of gamma(net) > or = 0.1, with an overall uncertainty of a factor of 2.

Thermal decomposition of ethylene oxide: Potential energy surface, master equation analysis, and detailed kinetic modeling
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2005; 109 (35): 8016-8027
Abstract
The unimolecular decomposition of ethylene oxide (oxirane) and the oxiranyl radial is examined by molecular orbital calculations, Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM)/Master Equation analysis, and detailed kinetic modeling of ethylene oxide pyrolysis in a single-pulse shock tube. It was found that the largest energy barrier to the decomposition of ethylene oxide lies in its initial isomerization to form acetaldehyde, and in agreement with previous studies, the isomerization was found to proceed through the *CH2CH2O* biradical. Because of the biradical nature of the transition states and intermediate, the energy barriers for the initial C-O rupture in ethylene oxide and the subsequent 1,2-H shift remain highly uncertain. An overall isomerization energy barrier of 59 +/- 2 kcal/mol was found to satisfactorily explain the available single pulse shock tube data. This barrier height is in line with the estimates made from an approximate spin-corrected procedure at the MP4/6-31+G(d) and QCISD(T)/6-31G(d) levels of theory. The dominant channel for the unimolecular decomposition of ethylene oxide was found to form CH3 + HCO at around the ambient pressure. It accounts for >90% of the total rate constant for T > 800 K. The high-pressure limit rate constant for the unimolecular decomposition of ethylene oxide was calculated as k(1,infinity)(s(-1)) = (3.74 x 10(10))T(1.298)e(-29990/T) for 600 < T < 2000 K.

Gas-nanoparticle scattering: A molecular view of momentum accommodation function
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
2005; 95 (1)
Abstract
We examine the origin of diffuse gas-particle scattering by molecular dynamics simulation and show that diffuse scattering is the consequence of gas molecule trapping on the particle surface. Trapping occurs because of gas-particle interactions and the particle's ability of energy accommodation. These observations explain the transition from specular-to-diffuse scattering as the particle size becomes larger than the molecular size. We discuss the implication of this transition on the transport properties of nanometer-size particles.

Thermophoretic force and velocity of nanoparticles in the free molecule regime
PHYSICAL REVIEW E
2004; 70 (2)
Abstract
We extend our previous gas-kinetic theory analysis of drag force in a uniform temperature field [Li and Wang, Phys. Rev. E. 68, 061206 (2003); 68, 061207 (2003)] to particle transport in fluids with nonuniform temperature. Formulations for drag and thermophoretic forces are proposed for nanoparticle transport in low-density gases. We specifically consider the influence of nonrigid body collision due to van der Waals or other forces between the particle and gas molecules and find that these forces play a notable role for particles a few nanometers in size. It is shown that the present formulations can be easily reduced to the classical result of Waldmann [Z. Naturforsch. A 14a, 589 (1959)] by assuming rigid body collision. From the force formulations we also obtain the equation governing the thermophoretic velocity. This velocity is found to be highly sensitive to the potential energy of interactions between gas molecules and particle, and as such Waldmann's thermophoretic velocity is not expected to be accurate for nanosized particles.

Drag force, diffusion coefficient, and electric mobility of small particles. II. Application
PHYSICAL REVIEW E
2003; 68 (6)
Abstract
We propose a generalized treatment of the drag force of a spherical particle due to its motion in a laminar fluid media. The theory is equally applicable to analysis of particle diffusion and electric mobility. The focus of the current analysis is on the motion of spherical particles in low-density gases with Knudsen number Kn>1. The treatment is based on the gas-kinetic theory analysis of drag force in the specular and diffuse scattering limits obtained in a preceding paper [Z. Li and H. Wang, Phys. Rev. E., 68, 061206 (2003)]. Our analysis considers the influence of van der Waals interactions on the momentum transfer upon collision of a gas molecule with the particle and expresses this influence in terms of an effective, reduced collision integral. This influence is shown to be significant for nanosized particles. In the present paper, the reduced collision integral values are obtained for specular and diffuse scattering, using a Lennard-Jones-type potential energy function suitable for the interactions of a gas molecule with a particle. An empirical formula for the momentum accommodation function, used to determine the effective, reduced collision integral, is obtained from available experimental data. The resulting treatment is shown to be accurate for interpreting the mobility experiments for particles as small as approximately 1 nm in radius. The treatment is subsequently extended to the entire range of the Knudsen number, following a semiempirical, gas-kinetic theory analysis. We demonstrate that the proposed formula predicts very well Millikan's oil-droplet experiments [R. A. Millikan, Philos. Mag. 34, 1 (1917); Phys. Rev. 22, 1 (1923)]. The rigorous theoretical foundation of the proposed formula in the Kn>1 limit makes the current theory far more general than the semiempirical Stokes-Cunningham formula in terms of the particle size and condition of the fluid and, therefore, more attractive than the Stokes-Cunningham formula.

Drag force, diffusion coefficient, and electric mobility of small particles. I. Theory applicable to the free-molecule regime
PHYSICAL REVIEW E
2003; 68 (6)
Abstract
The transport of small particles in the free-molecule regime is investigated on the basis of gas kinetic theory. Drag force formulations were derived in two limiting collision models-namely, specular and diffuse scattering-by considering the potential force of interactions between the particle and fluid molecules. A parametrized drag coefficient equation is proposed and accounts for the transition from specular to diffuse scattering as particle size exceeds a critical value. The resulting formulations are shown to be consistent with the Chapman-Enskog theory of molecular diffusion. In the limit of rigid-body interactions, these formulations can be simplified also to Epstein's solutions [P. S. Epstein, Phys. Rev. 23, 710 (1924)].

A NEW MECHANISM FOR THE FORMATION OF METEORITIC KEROGEN-LIKE MATERIAL
SCIENCE
1991; 252 (5002): 109-112
Abstract
The carbon in ancient carbonaceous chondritic meteorites is mainly in a hydrocarbon composite similar to terrestrial kerogen, a cross-linked structure of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Until recently, the composite has been commonly thought to have been produced in the early solar nebula by a Fischer-Tropsch-type process, involving the catalytic synthesis of hydrocarbons from carbon monoxide and hydrogen on grain surfaces. Instead, the aromatic hydrocarbons may form in gas-phase pyrolysis of simple aliphatics like acetylene and methane by a mechanism developed recently to explain formation of soot in combustion and of aromatic molecules in circumstellar envelopes. Nonequilibrium chemical kinetic calculations indicate that this mechanism can produce meteoritic aromatics if the initial concentration of simple hydrocarbons in the solar nebula was sufficiently but not unreasonably high.
